“…who called it Pigmentosis tubae. Thereafter around 20 cases studied in detail have been reported although with different names: xanthogranulomatous salpingitis (XS), pseudoxanthomatous salpingiosis, PXS, xanthogranuloma, inflammatory pseudotumor, and melanosis tubae 2–11 . PXS has a characteristic gross appearance.…”

Background and aim:We describe two cases of pseudoxanthomatous salpingitis (PXS), an uncommon entity, often unknown for clinicians and pathologists. We review the literature on this topic and perform immunohistochemistry in order to study its pathogenesis. Methods: Both cases are studied by histochemical and immnunohistochemical methods with a wide panel of antibodies. Results: One case showed bilateral PXS, ovarian endometriosis and an adenomatoid tumor in the right tube. The second case showed a unilateral focus of tubal endometriosis. The first case displayed pigmented histiocytes, positive with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), PAS with diastase digestion and focally with Fontana-Masson stains. Abundant hemosiderin granules were present in stromal subepithelial cells but no in histiocytes. In the second case Fontana-Masson and Ziehl-Neelsen methods stained diffusely the histiocytes. Perls stain was positive in some stromal cells and in numerous granular macrophages. The lymphocytic infiltrates presented mainly T cells with different proportions of CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes in each case. The tubal stroma was positive for CD10 in both cases. Conclusions: PXS is a rare condition usually associated with ovarian endometriosis. The physiopathologic way of pseudoxanthomatous histiocytes to accumulate inside the plicae of the tubes is not clear and can be diverse in different cases.

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation (XGI) is a rare chronic inflammatory condition most commonly involving the kidneys and gallbladder. The condition is histopathologically characterized by the presence of foamy histiocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. A few reports describing appendicitis caused by XGI have appeared in the English-language literature. However, no study has yet focused on the imaging features of xanthogranulomatous appendicitis (XGA). We present a pathologically confirmed case of XGA with an endometrial abscess; the patient underwent ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of XGA with uterine and right adnexal involvement presenting as a complicated pelvic abscess on radiological imaging.
